Another update from downunder. .

I just picked up the AWA equivalent of this consolette .. it’s an exact clone (probably licensed from RCA).

It’s called the BCU-1. Same enclosure, same layout, same amp modules (just with with locally Oz made transformers, looks like). Will be interesting to check the sound when i get it going one day! Have to get one alongside the RCA somehow to compare (!)

Mine is missing the smaller labelled panel plate from the top right side function area (where the CUE selection & VU Meter function switches are, etc) ..

If you hear of anyone that might have a spare, I’m all ears!

Cheers,
Evan

Passes well below 40Hz. That particular schematic should be banned from the universe, I have no idea where it came from, definitely not the official schematic from the manual.
